The hallway is a gauntlet of tension, bathed in the oppressive gloom of midnight. Pale moonlight glints off the scarlet wool of the soldiers' coats and the polished brass of their buttons as they loom over your family. Your parents and brothers stand their ground, their voices lowered to urgent, strained whispers. In the quiet of her room, your younger sister sleeps, oblivious to the predators in the house. The air feels heavy, thick with the metallic scent of muskets and the suffocating weight of dread. You linger in the dark, heart hammering, eyes locked on the invaders. Every breath feels like a gamble. The revolution has finally arrived at your doorstep.
